1. CS 5000 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Garrett CS 5000 Walk-Through Metal Detector features microprocessor-controlled circuitry and
LCD presentation of all calibrating and operating information. It is capable of remote operation and mon-
itoring, when required, and is designed to be easily portable. The unit can be operated on battery power
alone through use of an optional battery pack, which further enhances its portability.
The detector is manufactured by Garrett Metal Detectors in Garland, Texas.
The CS 5000 uses microprocessors in both its detection and control circuitry. These integrated circuits
contain the necessary elements of a small digital computer and are preprogrammed to provide discrim-
ination capabilities that enable the CS 5000 to optimally detect weapons and other devices made of
metal. At the same time, the microprocessors permit the detector to be considerably more sophisticat-
ed in its programming and provide greater flexibility in the selectivity of the metals it detects. The detec-
tor also features excellent sensitivity, stability and noise rejection. All electronics are built into an over-
head panel of the unit to eliminate problems of logistics and reliability often associated with a cable-
connected console. The LCD display on the face of the detector's overhead panel reports information
concerning the unit’s calibration and operation. This includes program data, sensitivity settings, opera-
tor settings and fault indication. A bright LED bar graph, easily visible from a distance, reports detec-
tion levels and separate lights indicate ready and alarm conditions.
All regulation and control functions are “self-prompting” with necessary commands shown automatical-
ly on the LCD. The Unit also reports a traffic count on its LCD. The system offers highly flexible capa-
bilities with a continuously variable range of programs including several that have been designed for
specific purposes. Programs are regulated by state-of-the-art touchpads and reported visually on the
LCD. Improved security of the unit’s detection settings comes from an improved system of access
codes. Two levels of codes eliminate the need for bothersome keys for locked doors or other protective
devices, while the CS 5000 circuitry provides precise accuracy of calibration. Access Code #1 is used
by supervisors for selecting programs and sensitivity with Access Code #2 designed for initial set up and
overall control. All settings are encoded by touchpads and remembered in an resettable memory.
Security of the unit’s calibration settings is further protected by a non-resettable sequence code that
